We had a
gallery hallway in Austin... all of those frames are still hanging on, or uhh... hanging up... and I've added a lot more. (See how I get
white frames for $2.06!) And I still want a few more...floor to ceiling more. I want lots and lots of pictures :) The following gallery walls struck my fancy for one reason or another and all have some element of floor to ceiling pictures.
1: I love the one picture at the bottom of the pack... It's fun and unique. This picture gave me inspiration to deviate from my all white frames... The faint chevron paint treatment is pretty fancy too :) I tried a not so faint
orange stripe tape treatment, remember?
2. I love the big pieces of art and of course, I love that they are from floor to ceiling . I have been on the hunt for larger scale pieces I like, but sadly, the big ones are 'spencive! Plus I do want friends and family on the wall, not just art. I can't help but also love the 2 funky couches in the same room :)
3. Like most of blog world, I have a little YHL obsession, and there gallery wall is pretty awesome. They're wall is way smaller than ours... but I like the ceiling to almost floor look with a mix of family, friends, and objects all in white matted frames.
4. You see a trend here :) I'm lovin' the floor to ceiling thing. It's unexpected and a little funky, plus you get more pictures for your wall space! I like that this one uses black and white frames with a mixture of mats... It gives the allusion of wall paper!
5. Now that we know where I'm (hopefully) going... here's what I'm working with...
I've framed some fun stuff... a post card to Andy from his dad when he was a little boy :)
A little map of the Caribbean Andy and I bought for a dollar on vacation in Turks and Caicos...
The Texas cut out is right next to my Austin skyline canvas...
What do you think of gallery walls? Do they need to be uniformed? Symmetrical? How to feel about my floor to ceiling obsession? I'd love to hear...
